Thanks for posting these. Dallas was still doing well at the beginning of 87-88 season with a 20.2/35 rating and ranking #6. The cliffhanger for the 86-87 season had a rating of 23.1 rating and ranked #3 for the week(although this was the first time a Dallas cliffhanger did not rank #1 for week). I think Morgan Brittany's brief return and what was going to happen to Pam helped out. Once Pam's story ended after episode 5 the ratings started to erode to #20 in the ratings.
Surprising at how bad Dynasty dropped from the beginning of 87-88 season.
I am curious as to what everyone thinks on why Dallas was the only soap to maintain its top 10 ranking in the ratings compared to Dynasty, Knots and FC which all dropped off outside the top 20.
